But then, all is not lost. Ah Hoe Mee Pok texture is spot on in its elasticity and chewiness. Aka Q-ness is just right.

The mushrooms are tender and well seasoned though their meatballs are a little tough.

I like their soup too.

What sets Ah Hoe Mee Pok aside is also its addition of abalone slices to its noodles. Their abalone slices are sweet and chewy without entering the rubbery state, which is common when it comes to abalone.

Final verdict, I don’t mind having Ah Hoe Mee Pok once in a while for a change. Maybe I could also try their other dishes too, if I (ever) get into the mood of shelling them… 😛
